Cheng Jingheng's temper has become more irritable than usual in recent days.

This morning, he once again lost his temper in the morning court, and trained the three ministers, who were at the level of a senator, to be like grandsons.

Actually, it's not a big deal, but it's just that there have been too many changes in the DPRK and China recently, and some personnel arrangements have not kept up, which has delayed a lot of progress.

This kind of thing is not in a hurry, and it has always been gradual, the reason why Cheng Jingheng made such a big fire was just to catch them unlucky.

An entire village under the jurisdiction of Wu'an County was slaughtered, and this village is nothing else, it is the hometown of Ye Jiming and Ye Shuai, who have dedicated his life to guarding the border for Jokhang.

The ancestral tomb of the Ye family was buried there, and it coincided with the Qingming Festival, and the eldest and third of the Ye family returned to their hometown with their wives to sweep the tomb.

Ye Huaixin's subordinates, who were the secretary of the ministry, found out the problem and were urgently recruited back to cooperate with the investigation, so they escaped by luck, but the third Ye Huaiyu and his wife happened to catch up with the gangsters to slaughter the village after completing the tomb sweeping.

Now, a few days have passed, and no news has returned, and both of them are uncertain.

There is nowhere to be angry, who makes these old and dizzy old things happen to like to hit him with this cannon!

Among the people present, except for the high father-in-law who often acts as a wooden man, no one knows that the emperor knows how to divide anger into layers at a young age, and there is actually this reason.

They only knew that although the first emperor took Cheng Jingheng and Cheng Jingxi with him to raise them, the sisters and brothers had always been at odds in private, and they rarely saw each other when they grew up, until the eldest princess got married, and the emperor never even sent them a ride.

The minister can only pout his butt to the sky, and he can't raise his head if he can't live forever, so that everyone doesn't know who the scolded person is, as if he is covering his ears and stealing the bell.

In the past, when the official positions in the court were vacant and needed to be replaced, Cheng Jingheng was still in the mood to let the ministers recommend one after another, patiently screen them, and even after the election, he called the old ministers over with great respect to discuss it, and made a final decision with the attitude of putting them first in everything.

This approach naturally makes everyone feel that the emperor is still the emperor, and he has not made much progress in the three years he has been on the throne, but he is only a twelve-year-old hairy child who has not dried up.

In the past few days, many shortcomings have been found in the official positions in Beijing, and those who act recklessly are rampant, Cheng Jingheng has a knife in his hand, no matter how big or small the crime is committed, whether he confesses or not, he will be punished according to the highest punishment, and he will be punished by the nine clans.

It seems that overnight I ran out of patience and was very impatient.

Wave after wave of heads cut off as if they didn't need money, such a thunderous means made everyone's hearts tighten, and then they went to the book one after another, indignantly and at length to impeach, only to kneel outside the study and point at his nose and scold for three days and three nights.

summed up in just two sentences, scolding him for being careless about human life, and spraying him for being arbitrary.

Many days have passed, and the smell of blood on the long street in Shangjing seems to never be clean, reminding everyone not to act rashly.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Prime Minister Mu Daren slowly walked outside the palace, but when he didn't go far, he was stopped by a little father-in-law, Mu Daren turned around and had a very gentle attitude.

"What's the matter with my father-in-law?"

The little father-in-law made a salute and said to him with a smile: "Prime Minister, the Queen Mother is waiting for you in the palace!" ”

When the prime minister first saw the smiling face of the little father-in-law, he intuitively felt that nothing good happened, and he couldn't help but skip an eyebrow when he heard his words, and the bad feeling became more obvious.

Master Mu hesitated for a moment, and asked slowly: "I don't know what happened to the Queen Mother's search for the next official?" If your father-in-law knows, please let me know. ”

The little father-in-law's eyes were about to laugh, and he swept the dust to the left, bent down slightly and said, "This slave doesn't know, Prime Minister, please!" ”

The prime minister had no choice but to follow.

The Queen Mother is nearly fifty years old, but she is well maintained, and she is about thirty years old at a glance, and the new emperor Cheng Jingheng is sitting on the side, Cheng Jingheng swept the black face in the court, and the mother and son didn't know what they were talking about, and they talked happily.

The prime minister was led inside by his father-in-law, and before he got close, he heard a hearty laugh.

It's Cheng Jingheng.

Prime Minister Mu's heart didn't know what to call suddenly, and his feet were almost unstable, but the father-in-law on the side quickly held him up, "Prime Minister, be careful when walking!" ”

After the prime minister entered, Cheng Jingheng put away his smiling face and sat on the couch.

"See the emperor, the queen mother."

"Hurry up, please!" The Queen Mother saw that the prime minister was overjoyed, and instructed her father-in-law, "Quickly help the old prime minister sit down." ”

"Xie Niangniang."

After watching the tea, the Queen Mother greeted her: "Is the prime minister's health okay in recent days?" ”

When the old prime minister heard this, he hurriedly put down the teacup and replied respectfully: "Back to the queen mother, the old minister's body and bones are still okay, but there are occasional discomforts, and they are also old problems accumulated over the years." ”

The Queen Mother was concerned when she heard this, "Can you find a doctor to visit?" ”

"The imperial doctor came a few times, and he said that it was no big deal, and he prescribed a few pairs of decoctions for Lao Chen, which is okay."

After the prime minister finished speaking, the Queen Mother nodded, glanced at Cheng Jingheng, smiled slightly, changed the conversation, stopped chatting, and got down to business.

"How are you doing?"

The old prime minister's heart sank suddenly, but he still replied respectfully on his face: "Back to the Queen Mother, Shu'er has been learning the rules at home recently, and she hasn't been out of the house for a long time. ”

"Oh?" The Queen Mother's eyebrows frowned slightly, and the tail note was slightly raised, "No wonder I haven't seen her enter the palace to accompany the mourning family these days, the mourning family has been thinking about her very tightly recently!" ”

The prime minister didn't know how to answer, so he had to answer "yes" tremblingly.

"The mourning family remembers in a trance, Shu'er has reached the age of marriage this year, right?"

The Queen Mother's leisurely and fluttering words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day and smashed straight into the heart of the Prime Minister.

Really!

But after all, the old prime minister is still the old prime minister, a person who has collapsed in front of Mount Tai and his face has not changed, even if he knows very well at this moment that the old woman in front of him has hit his favorite daughter, he can still be calm and calm, and he said thoughtfully: "Yes." ”

Cheng Jingheng watched silently from the side, and there were many emotions hidden in his lowered eyes, but they were all contained one by one, without the slightest leakage.

After the old prime minister finished speaking, he slowly raised his head, the corners of his mouth pulled up slightly, he smiled, and said to the prime minister sitting at the bottom: "I have the honor to see the daughter of the prime minister's mansion, and the country and the city, and it really deserves its reputation." ”

The old prime minister's eyes suddenly darkened, and he almost fainted.

He knelt down, "Thanks to the emperor's love, the old minister thanked the emperor for the little girl." ”

The Queen Mother didn't seem to see the person kneeling on the ground, and turned her head to look at Cheng Jingheng when she heard the words, "The emperor has never been willing to praise others, but today every word is praised, which is really rare!" ”

Cheng Jingheng smiled slightly and said: "The daughter of the Prime Minister is really stunning in the world, in the face of such a beauty, how can I be stingy with praise, but I still feel that the words are lacking, the expression is not enough, and the beauty is not as good as the three points of beauty." ”

The Queen Mother smiled with relief, quite a sense of achievement when my son had just grown up, looked back at the prime minister, and sighed with a smile: "It seems that the emperor really likes Shu'er!" ”

And she seemed to realize that the old prime minister was kneeling on the ground at this time, her face changed hurriedly, and she scolded her father-in-law for his face, "How can you tell the prime minister to kneel like this?" I don't know if the prime minister is not in good health? If there are three long and two short at the time, how can the mourning family go to the prime minister? ”

The old prime minister was helped up by his father-in-law and sat back in his chair.

The Queen Mother looked at him with a smile and asked with great interest, "What does the Prime Minister think?" ”

The old prime minister wanted to pretend not to understand, but the old woman had already said the three words "climbing relatives" so clearly, if he pretended to be stupid again, he would be openly disrespectful to the royal family.

"This ......" the prime minister hesitated for a moment, "the old minister still doesn't know the little girl's ......"

He didn't say everything, but the meaning was that meaning, but there was neither disrespect nor reluctance in the words, the Queen Mother was a very reasonable person, and when she heard the words, she said: "This is easy to say, the prime minister can go back and ask." ”

The old prime minister wanted to scold the literati, but he didn't have the courage for the time being.

What's the use of asking?

If Shu'er doesn't agree, wouldn't she have a guilty sign of contempt for the royal family?

Ruo Shu'er agrees, no matter what the final result is, she may not be able to escape a dead word.

And he, who is a father, has been in the court for so long, not only has he achieved nothing, but he is about to put his daughter in.

Only owes the east wind, only owes the east wind, when he replied to Ye Huaixin like this last night, he also said in his heart that this kid was so uncontrollable, and now that he is here, he only feels that this east wind is too late, and it is too late!

If the east wind doesn't blow, he will immediately grow three heads and six arms, and he is also powerless.

"What, what's the dilemma for the prime minister?" The Queen Mother asked with a smile again.

The old prime minister hurriedly confessed, "The lower officials don't dare!" How can the little girl be so favored by the emperor, it is a blessing for three lives, but the queen mother also knows that the little girl has been doting since she was a child and has developed an arrogant and domineering character, if she enters the palace, I am afraid it will ...... will collide with the emperor! ”

"It's okay, didn't the prime minister say that Shu'er has been learning etiquette recently?" Cheng Jingheng said slowly.

The prime minister really wanted to slap his two mouths on the spot.

Make your mouth quick!

"Yes."

"Okay," the Queen Mother smiled slightly, "Shu'er can't go to other people's houses, so what if you ask the prime minister to go back and ask?" After that, he looked at the prime minister again, "It's rare for the emperor to have a woman he likes, and the mourning family will definitely not treat her badly, but what else is the prime minister worried about?" Although it was proposed, it was discussed and counseled with the mourning family and the emperor. ”

I'm talking about!

"The old minister doesn't dare," the prime minister stood up and saluted tremblingly, "The old minister has no objection." ”

"Then the matter is settled!" The Queen Mother said, and then turned to her father-in-law who was waiting on the side, "Send the prime minister back to the house, and then let Si Tianjian choose an auspicious day for the zodiac!" ”

"Yes!"

The old prime minister's old teeth were almost shattered into powder, and he bowed tremblingly again, and was helped by the little father-in-law to get up and walk outside.

Cheng Jingheng's eyelids were half-drooping, and his eyes kept following the back of the old prime minister until he couldn't see it around the corner.

After a long time, a seemingly nonexistent smile slowly crept up the corner of his mouth, and he pulled it lightly, and then dissipated.

Old stuff.
